Whistle Pops (called Melody Pops in some countries) were a lollipop brand produced by Spangler Candy Company[2] starting in the 1970s that were designed to make a whistling sound.[3] They were produced with a hole in them, and when blown into, a whistling sound would emanate from the confectionery.[3]
Reintroduction
After being discontinued for a few years, the company Chupa Chups reintroduced Whistle Pops, naming them Melody Pops, and markets them in the United States.[3] Melody Pops are marketed with a tagline stating "play real music".[4]
In the United Kingdom
In the United Kingdom (UK) some pharmacies stock Whistle Pops.
